Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve your smile. They can be used on a single tooth that has been damaged, decayed or discolored, or on multiple teeth for the same reasons. People also choose porcelain veneers as a great way to create an ideal smile.
- Straighten crooked teeth
- Disguise severe staining
- Repair chipped or worn teeth
- Lengthen teeth that are too short
- Close spaces and gaps between teeth
With multiple veneers we can close spaces, straighten crooked teeth, disguise severe staining, repair chipped/worn teeth or just revamp that ageing smile. Veneers can also be used to cover teeth that have been so severely stained that whitening cannot completely remove.
Types of Dental Veneers
The three most common types of veneers are the ceramic, porcelain and computer designed, milled veneers. Some of the more common names that consumers may be aware of are Lumineers, CEREC, Davinci or Fortress. The different types of veneers have some slight advantages/ disadvantages over each other but, generally, all veneers do exactly the same job. It is usually marketing that attracts the consumer to a certain type. Dr. Steinberg uses the CEREC CAD/CAM systems and is able to mill the veneer for you right in his office.
Veneers are a permanent procedure and there always needs to be some tooth preparation, although the amount of preparation depends on the position of teeth and the desired result. Dr. Steinberg will assess your suitability for veneers by carrying out a full smile analysis and then provide the clinical treatment necessary to prepare your teeth and craft your veneers.
